psychodrake	8:20p	Aaaaand... deferred. I suspected as much, it's very, very rare to get let in in EA. So I'll go through this whole thing again in march. Only I'll be a lot more upset because if I don't get in, it's over. But hey, time to fill out other apps and get psyched about other colleges. ETA: The (most likely final) list, in order of preference, is: MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, Caltech, Penn U, Cornell. Others may be added if I come across them and they're comapp schools. All results will be had in March. I'd be happy going to any of these schools, the first four for their type, and the four enclosing for their location, and they're all famously good computer schools. The last two are Ivy, incidentally. I'm not hot for California (no pun intended), but both Caltech and Stanford are very good schools, particularly for Compsci, so.

psychodrake	12:17a	Okay. Totally obsessing now. If I don't get into MIT I'm going to have a breakdown. Look. At the AWESOME that is IAP. I exploded with squee reading the compsci pages. And, oddly, the PE pages also. I want this SO BADLY. Never realised how much I learned about music just from being in choir those two years in primary school. I was astounded the other day at the concept that people might not be able to hear/recognise/notice descant harmonisation, having never done it themselves. I always do descant flourishes when I sing, I can't help it, which means I sometimes ef up Guitar Hero songs because I'm singing different notes. I need to do more computery things. Do you have any idea how long it's been since I programmed something? Too long. Been too busy with school-games-writing-drawing, in that order. I HAVE TOO MANY HOBBIES. Sorry for the capslock. Christmas looks like it's going to kind of suck this year. Stress, a lack of gifts I really want, and general scheisse. I feel like a bloody zombie. Like, I think about who I am, and it feels like I'm thinking about some person who stopped existing back in August. It's not even like he died, he was just gone, and now I'm sitting here and it's december and I'm going, "Well, shit, how did I survive that?" I need a break. A long one. I need a couple years to sort my head out so it doesn't scar. So much for staying sane, I guess. ETA: Okay. No. Really. I'm going to explode. I fit into all the top brackets of MIT's admission statistics. Test scores, class rank, everything. And I applied early action on top of that. I have about as good a chance as one can possibly have. Which, statistically, is still less than 50%. I am now furiously doubting my application's quality, whether it represented me well enough. I'm so bad at making myself understood. And relating to strangers. I don't think I can make it until Wednesday. The tension is going to give me a heart attack. If I don't get in I'm going to go live in the gutter and eat worms. If I don't get in they're going to have to put me in a straitjacket so that I don't tear my own face off. I know, getting way too worked up over this college thing, especially since I could be deferred and still get in in March. But OH MY GOD.
